Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

Naperville, Illinois

The existing stage at the end of a gymnasium is repurposed for Good Shepherd Lutheran Church to create distinct spaces catering to special needs children and music rehearsals. The transformation dedicates the lower level to serve as a space for special needs children, while the upper level creates a music rehearsal area.

To ensure these newly designated spaces function effectively, careful attention is given to acoustics which minimize the sound transfer between the gymnasium, the special needs classroom, and the music rehearsal space. This acoustic planning creates an environment where each area could operate with minimal disruption from the others, enhancing both the experience for special needs children and the rehearsal experience for musicians.
